Thank you, Lisa, for sharing the technique for carrying up multiple threads. I was just getting ready to start a small plaid that has 5 colors (with no color being more than 4 picks at a time) and was dreading it. It is woeking like a dream. Thanks (and to MvdH too)!
Oh no! I have just realized after threading and tying up my loom that I should have started threading 1,2 with the dark and I started with the light. I was following # 4 threading from the gampkin which started with light when winding on the mill. Not thinking that, block A was threaded with the turmeric. Because I am not using the the turmeric stripes, which would have 1.2 in turmeric then 3,4 on light.. Will this just mean that my pattern will be upside down or do I have to rethread everything to look right ??????
Hi Beth,
Is it just the Straight Draw that you started with Light and then you followed the rest of them exactly like profile draft? Also, the 8 thread dividers that are Turmeric, what colour did you do yours in?
No, Ginette, it was the asymetrical broken threading. I also didn't do dividers. I just did the whole towels in the one pattern. However, I went ahead anyway and they turned out just fine. I shall post them soon.. Thank you for replying.
For some reason, I can't seem to work out how many heddles I need on each shaft for the Windowpane Scarf. I know I can just guestimate and it will be ok, but I'd really like to know how to figure it out when only some of the threads are doubled in the heddles. My math brain doesn't seem to be clicking!
Hi kingwoodc,
ok my math was wrong...
ok my math was close! So for the double threads, count them as 1 heddle only.
For shaft 3 from right to left, in the three sections:
1st section 2 heddles needed only, 2nd section 5+1+1=7x7=49, 3rd section 5+2=7 so all together you need 58 heddles for shaft 3.
Shaft 2, again your double threads, only count as one heddle, 10+1=11, 1+9+1=11x7=77, 1+10=11, total 99 heddles needed
I hope I haven’t muddled this!

Thank you so much! Those were the numbers I finally ended up with, but for some reason I was trying to double check it by seeing if I could cross check the number by adding the doubled threads back in to get to 333 ends. Not sure why that was in my head - definitely overcomplicating things. Now let's see how I do with actually counting out the heddles - definitely going to leave some extras just in case 🤣
